Running Errands

It was a busy day of running errands. Hannah went along to keep me company. She doesn't talk too much and sometimes makes me wonder what she's thinking. We stopped at three different banks to cash a check, pay the mortgage, and deposit some cash. We dropped off some letters at the post office, made returns at Target, Sears, and the hardware store, and filled the gas tank. We walked around Walmart and also hit the grocery store. We were gone for several hours and I was still able to bake some cookies and get supper on the table before church tonight. The cookies never would have happened if we hadn't dropped the carton of eggs.

The other day I was talking to Shelly on the phone and she happened to mention it has been said "If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it." This has been bouncing around in my little brain for the past week. Why is it that one day I can get so much accomplished and another I feel as though I have done nothing? It is also said, "If you aim at nothing, you are sure to hit it every time." I suppose the challenge is to find some goals and fill up my dyas instead of wondering how to clear out the schedule. Hmmm... the question is, what do I want to accomplish and how can I get it done?

Here I am

I am a work in the hands of the Master Potter. I pray that His fingerprints are all over me as I walk through this life. This is my journey. Thank you, Jesus, for not giving up on me.
I am mom to seven beautiful grown ups and grandma to seven beautiful grandchildren, and tender of a shrinking "flower garden."
